Why Upperclassmen Shouldn't Cut

Soooo, this is an essay that I wrote for my English class. I dunno if anyone actually wants to read it, but I'm putting it up anyway. hahaha.

Upperclassmen have a lot going for them, so they really do not need another perk, like getting to cut in front of younger people in the lunch line.

People try to say that this is the “structure of society,” which is true. In sports, and in businesses, people start at the bottom of the ladder and work their way up. However, in the lunch line, we are not trying to get anywhere. We are just waiting for food, so why should we have to “earn our keep?” There is not much to “earn.” And in sports and businesses, you choose to be there, to be the rookie, to take on rookie jobs. It is hardly fair when we don’t have a choice in the matter. We have to go to lunch.

I also believe it is breeding arrogance in our upperclassmen. They already throw their weight around in sports, making younger kids do the dirty jobs. However, this is not really true to life because they are not going to be on the top when they get out in the world, but they think they should be, and suddenly they don’t know how to handle the bottom. They also tend to abuse the privilege and take things too far.

And if they do manage to make through the ladder without blowing a top, they continue in their arrogance. They believe everyone should bow to them. In a school, we should be teaching our students about life, not breeding arrogance.

These are just a few of the reason upperclassmen shouldn’t be allowed to cut.
